John Lathbury, 'In Threnos Jeremiae'. The commentary on the Lamentations of Jeremiah, chapters 1-3, by John Lathbury, also known as John Lathbery (d. 1362), a Franciscan friar and theologian, regent master at Oxford. Comprises a Prologue (with running title 'Collacio') and 101 numbered chapters. The text is recorded in F. Stegmüller, 'Repertorium Biblicum Medii Aevi' (Madrid, 1950-), no. 4762. ff. 1r-44r. A very full index. 'A. Hec littera dupliciter ... Zona perusta dicitur mundus iste igne peruste concupiscencie capitulo 8b Nota vbi ciuitas et mundus. Deo gracias'. ff. 44v-45v. Blank (see Physical Description). ff. 46r-56v. Prologue. Begins (f. 46r): 'In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti ...' Ends (f. 56v): '... in secula seculorum amen. Explicit prologus'. ff. 57r-273v. Text. Begins (f. 57r): 'Aleph. quomodo sedet ... ' Ends (f. 273v): '... eos sub celis domine. Deo gracias'. ff. 202v-203r contain the end of chapter 64 in a smaller hand in part of the space left blank here by the main scribe, who perhaps found his exemplar defective: 'huc usque corrigitur' is written in the margin at the point where the hands change. ff. 274r-275r. Further tables.

Immediate source of acquisition (When and where the record was acquired from)
- From Christ Church, Canterbury: the secundo folio agrees with no. 186 in the Ingram list recording books there in 1508. See M. R. James, 'Ancient Libraries of Canterbury and Dover' (1903), p. 159. This identification is the more certain because the index from which these words come is in most copies at the end and not, as here, at the beginning. Cf. N.R. Ker ed., 'Medieval Libraries of Great Britain', 2nd ed. (London, 1964) p. 37. Inscriptions at f. 1r. 'Omnia probate, quod bonum est, tenete. Stephanus Hussam 1610' and in the same hand 'Iste liber e fundo Maris in Piscatoris rete ad terram productus'. Bought by Sion College with part of £10 given by Sir Henry Marten (c.1561-1641) in 1633 (Sion L40.2/E64, p. 21). The pre-Great Fire shelfmark 'V. 2' is on f. 1r. Recorded with this shelfmark in John Spencer's catalogue of 1650 (Sion L40.2/E92, f. 22r). Recorded at Sion College in Edward Bernard, 'Catalogi Manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae' (Oxford, 1697) vol 2, no. 4073. Transferred from Sion College to Lambeth Palace Library, 1996.
